⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2024/2025⚽

[hahay]

I didn't expect Venezia, who is basically a promoted team, but Venezia seems to have a good effort in the away match against Fiorentina. Because after all,  Fiorentina also had many goal attempts and also had many shots on target, but Venezia managed to hold them back and force Fiorentina to only get one point in the home match. Honestly,I bet on Fiorentina to win because maybe, I also underestimated Venezia but yes, the result was a defeat for me too because I seemed to underestimate the promoted team.

After all, even though in the previous match Venezia lost 3-1 by Lazio, but in reality Venezia managed to score a quick goal in the third minute. Of course,  that was also a surprise and also a trigger for Lazio to turn things around,  and Lazio also managed to beat Venezia. But with two results like this, I think maybe Venezia will succeed in staying in Serie A, because Venezia also seems to have the ability to survive so as not to be relegated at the end of the season.

Milan are still a big disappointment... Pioli has left and Fonseca is here. But there is still no positive news. Instead they are even going worse day by day.    Barely saving point against Torino first and now this loss against Parma. How long will we see this team crying for help? In fact they have a good squad now. They just can't take advantage of it.

Inter got their first win. Hakan Çalhanoğlu did his thing again by scoring a penalty. I think he is one of the best penalty takers in all leagues.    He uses a lot of power and has a really high accuracy.

Definitely, not even remotely close to what Milan should be like, they are one of the biggest clubs in the league and yet they are playing like they are not even that good. I feel like there is this confidence issue with the team, like they do not think they are good enough so they do not play good enough, which could be the reason why they are not doing that well. I feel like we are going to end up with something that will not be understandable just yet, but with time I am sure they can get better.

Last time I saw this is current Chelsea team, they got good players but nobody in the team believed they were good, they got more and more players to change the look, and yet there is still no trust in the team, Milan should try to avoid that.

AC Milan actually have a very good team and could compete to win the Scudetto, but Fonseca's strategies are very different from those provided by Stefano Pioli. Last night I saw an AC Milan that defensively offered very poor performances, last year this would never have happened. I want to think that Fonseca has a good strategy in mind for this Milan team and it will take some time, so I want to reserve some time before saying whether Fonseca is a Milan coach or not

It's a shame, it's really difficult to think that such a team could achieve such a disappointing result. I don't know what Fonseca is thinking, but Ibrahimovic has already made it clear to the team that they have to change pace otherwise the season will start very badly. I honestly think that Milan have a very strong team like Inter.

Fonsesca was a downgraded version of Pioli. His past experience didn't give me confidence in him as a new coach. But, it surprised me that our owner picked him over better, available coaches in the market. And i was so baffled when i heard him become our new coach. Hard to pur respect on the decision to sign a coach with no experience to run the big club.
And here's the result. We played better in the pre-season. Our expectations were high. But, reality slapped us when AC Milan got only 1 point from two matches in Serie a. Fonseca is such a disgrace; however, he was not the only one who deserved to be blamed.

I was also being so negative about the attitude of our players. They can't trust the coach, and miscommunication happened between them. I'm very disappointed. We went from medium to hard difficulty with the problem in our internal.

Osimhen remains in limbo.    There is no agreement between Chelsea and Napoli after the talks. There is only one option left on the table. If Al-Ahli gives green light then he is going there.

Otherwise... I'm afraid he is going to be out of squad for a complete year. This would feel awful for him I guess. It is a big loss in a career truthfully. Not the end of the world yeah but he will need to work hard to maintain his form.

Lukaku has taken his place in the team after the transfer. Conte has been targeting to bring him and it has finally happened. We will see how much impact he will make. He likes to play in the Serie A.

I don't know what Fonseca is thinking, but Ibrahimovic has already made it clear to the team that they have to change pace otherwise the season will start very badly. I honestly think that Milan have a very strong team like Inter.

At the beginning of the season with 3 matches that have been done for Serie-A, it does show how AC Milan played quite badly, first they got draw and for the second defeat from Parma and for the third week this AC Milan got another draw.
Fonseca who is the new coach for AC Milan by replacing Stefano Pioli really did not work according to expectations for the start of the Serie-A competition, he looked so sure to bring AC Milan to the peak of success and show an increase in the quality of performance in his first season coaching, but what we see is series of bad results.
Looking at the squad that AC Milan has, they should be able to be one of the competitors in the title fight and win the Scudetto, but we don't see the great strength that can be shown from the start.
Maybe we should see how Fonseca leads AC Milan in completing this one season, if there is no good development then it is clear that Fonseca should not be worthy of replacing Stefano Pioli.

[bitgolden]

Como project is something I did not expected to grow this much, but they are really trying and still failing. They still have zero points, which is understandable for normally any other team that went from Serie B to here, but that doesn't mean that it's true for COMO as well, considering they are spending a lot and getting players that are known a bit, I think it would be good to remember that we are not going to get the same thing here, it should be a little bit different situation, we are not looking at the same thing.

This is why I believe that we can't really make many big changes, it is going to be something quite ordinary. I believe that we can't really consider this to be all that much of a big deal, and I believe that Como needs to end up winning some games and staying in the league after spending this much money, they can't just hope to spend this much and go back down.

That's the point. The problem was Fonseca, but you could not only blame him for the bad start in our season. Our team is also full of disappointment.

And yeah, if we don't sack Fonsesca and replace him with a decent coach, we may as well have our banter era returned again. He was not solving our problems, but he adds more.

But i think it doesn't matter who the manager is; our defense can't be helped. We have no good midfielder who can hold mid to cover the fullbacks when our opponent was pushing us. This leaves a loophole between our mid and defender. 

Also, the highline defense makes us looked even more terrible.

for a team like this it's really little, very little
Fonseca risks making us regret the mediocre Pioli, think how far we have come

The new system that is being tried is something that may take a while, maybe fans should wait a few more weeks before they make a judgement? I mean it is not an easy thing to manage a team, it's even harder to go into a new team, a big one at that, and try to put your system in and try to do well. This should be something that will take a while and we may not see results that easily neither, we may need to focus on trying to just give him some more time.

This is why I think it's clear that he may have some issues at times. But eventually it will show itself how much he is good or bad really, if he keeps being bad then they will fire him anyway, if he becomes good then he will keep his job, that is why waiting is the important part.

Milan are doing very badly, only 2 points as you will surely have noticed from the rankings I posted. Then problems with the two guys who are breaking up the very, very tense locker room. It would take an Ibrahimovic to give the two assholes a couple of slaps and get everyone back in line.
This year I see it worse than last year with Pioli.

True, there is a new system and we should wait. In certain cases, like this one, you realize very well that it's not working. Poor play, poor results, poor points collection.
With the money invested you can't make a figure like that, for Milan I mean.
Then of course, we have to wait, but not indefinitely, it's going worse than last year with a not very good coach.

[giorgione]

Yeah, very bad situation for Milan: I saw that Milan are struggling a bit. Hopefully they can turn it around. We need someone like Ibra to shake things up. As for Roma, we're not doing great either, but I believe in De Rossi.

Roma sign ex-Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels

AS Roma have completed the signing of former Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels on a free transfer, the Serie A club announced Wednesday.

Hummels left Dortmund at the expiration of his contract this summer. The 35-year-old spent 13 seasons with the Bundesliga side, making 508 appearances across two spells.

Details of the transfer were not revealed but Italian media reported the 35-year-old has signed a season-long deal for €2.5 million ($2.8 million).

After helping Dortmund to win Bundesliga titles in 2010 and 2011, Hummels signed for Bayern Munich, whose academy he came through, in 2016. Following three trophy-laden years at the Allianz Arena, he returned to Dortmund in 2019.

In his final season in Dortmund, Hummels was a key figure in the team's run to the Champions League final and started in the defeat to Real Madrid at Wembley.

Hummels has won 78 caps for Germany and was part of the 2014 World Cup-winning team but was left out of the squad for this summer's European Championship.

Hermoso and Hummels are last second signings for Roma really. They have stolen both of them from the hands of some Turkish teams by intervening. As for if they really needed 2 centre-back signings, it looks like they did.    Because after these 2 players have come, there are 4 centre-backs in the team now. Squad depth is really important you know.

I think these are good signings at the same time. Roma still have defensive problems. Hummels is a very experienced defender. I believe in him. Hermoso is also pretty good. After signing Le Normand, Atletico Madrid wanted to release him.
